Does Srivaishnavism teach anything about how to overcome addictions - such as alcohol/tobacco etc ? It may be true that one who follows the teaching and scriptures would not have any addictions. But, I am a srivaishnavite by birth, but except for a few poojas done at home, I don't know or havenot followed much of it during the last 30 years of my existence. I am trying to come to terms with a number of issues such as overcoming tobacco/alcohol/settling down for marriage etc. I assumed astrology would help. I posted queries about it and mantras some days back and got different responses - most common is that one shouldn't use astrology/mantras for ones own benefit. I have a problem here. Can my faith not help me. It is true that I don't follow it till date. My family doesn't follow all the sampradaysas strictly. All said and done, I am still a srivaishnavite by birth. I pray to Lord Srinivasa everyda y - I consider bhakti as my main purpose in life. Is there anything that can help me ? Please forgive me if this is an irrelevant question.
